Welcome to our virtual event! We will focus on the different African traditions and cultures that existed before colonisation. This includes occasions for child-naming, dowry, weddings, divorce, circumcision, funerals, etc. We will also look at where we are still observing these rites and passages and which ones have been abandoned. The panel will educate us on the roles of people like spiritual healers, soothsayers and chiefs and elaborate how aspects like time, weather, food and gender were factored into these customs. We seek to demystify and make corrections around African culture, show our diversity and demonstrate the value of receiving information directly from the source. Preserving many of our African traditions is vital for people who are unlearning anti-Blackness and decolonising in general.
This is our third monthly event where we aim to promote cultural, spiritual and racial inclusion whilst adding nuance to our stories and amplifying authenticity and psychological safety. We will continue to include the entire African diaspora to accomplish the following:
Educate
Decolonise
Promote unity
Combat racism
Show our diversity
Discuss challenges
Dispel harmful myths
Find avenues of change
Develop effective communication
Promote mental and spiritual health
Explore possibilities for meaningful partnerships
